Zelda: Skyward Sword Origin Trailer Sets the Scene

Whether or not you agree with Nintendo's dripping tap approach to marketing The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, you can't argue that the game looks anything less than beautiful, particularly in this new trailer.

Although Nintendo's termed this the "origin" trailer, it might still contain the odd spoiler for what lies ahead, so if you want to preserve that sense of wonder when the game's released probably don't press the "play" button. You might want to come back later for some more beautiful Zelda artwork though.

It was loosely based on the first 2 Zeldas. It was a Friday afternoon deal, where a Mario cartoon was regularly. It lasted 13eps(episodes), only a few months, & is infamous for Link's now-well-known phrase, "Well, excuse me princess!", w/ a long drawn-out emphasis on the "Well excuse me" part.

this trailer was on the GT TV special with Reggie Fils-Aime. They said it shows the connection that SS has with OoT & the rest of the Zelda series. The trailer clearly has people, creatures, places, and objects from other Zelda games in it but that's kind of the most obvious thing lol. I didn't really catch what other connections this necessarily had...the GT TV episode was pretty bad since they barely analysed the trailer at all...I guess it's just teasing that this game will bring a lot of "OHH!!!" moments from fans who've played the previous entries in the game, like me! But then again both Wind Waker & twilight princess had a handful of "OH!" moments themselves connecting both games to OoT. But since this is a prequel, it may do a lot more to explain things..can't wait till the 23rd! (thats when my preorder from amazon arrives)
